A <physicist> who developed a theory of the stability of <multiply twinned particles>. The model balances surface, twin-boundary and elastic <elastic strain energy>, together with adhesion to a supporting surface. Because these contributions scale differently with size, a shape favored for a small particle can become unfavorable as it grows; the calculation predicts critical sizes for stable and metastable structures.<Stability of Multiply-Twinned Particles by Shozo Ino>[Abstract: energy contributions and critical sizes for icosahedral and decahedral particles]{ref}
